Good god you guys were a bunch of hens into 2009. I feel like I was listening to my wife talk about her friends and who said what to whom. What a headache.

We've only banned in over 14 years way less than 100 folks. Its not an easy task.

I was guessing high there . some ambiguity because there are 1000s of spam bots
Purely for bad behavior is very very low.

What will 3 D have to due with people being banned?

Think he ment third infraction by AZ's biggest hater; snowlover

Or maybe 3rd banned member? That does seem awfully low though...

Nick do you wait for the spammy posts to ban?

For us, any body who joined at 3AM and is from Southeast Asia, gets the hammer.

I also put this thing in that allows only replies (no new threads) and links don't work until we approve.

It actually kinda funny watching spammers try all kinds of things to get their links to work.

I put in some plugins last year that have done a really good job preventing spammers from sigong up. Uses a few methods like stopforumspam db . its still really hard to stop an actual person registering.
